six party talks died some ten years ago potentially russia may step in and resume this multilateral negotiating cooperation peace driving for. another round of talks on syria is expected to take place in the catholic capital of russia turkey and iran they have played pivotal roles in the conflict and now want to know what's in it for them saying aha that tells us more from. russia is further cementing its foothold in syria government leaders in damascus granting russia access to the mediterranean port of tartus for the next forty nine years it's the latest deal between the two countries as russia eyes strategic and financial rewards in post-war syria. syria's other main ally iran seems to be doing the same after partnering to keep president bashar assad in power the iranians and russians are talking about dividing the spoils of war. you're

strategic interests intersect beyond syria they have strained relations with the united states russia and iran want to keep turkey on their side but at the same time they don't want the turks to expand their presence in northern syria. but also the countries need wider international support in the west if syria is to end its isolation and receive war reconstruction funding russia is pushing for progress on the political track sending diplomats to the syrian capital as well as to the saudi capital to meet the opposition. so. russia. the russians and iranians believe they won the war for us said but turkish troops and their local allies remain in northern syria u.s. troops and their kurdish allies are in the north east multiple players are involved in syria all maneuvering for their place when peace eventually comes. beirut

contracts with providers around the globe but the heart of it all is the issue of trust huawei is directly linked to the chinese states and the sought to reassure western countries that its infrastructure doesn't pose a threat to their security australia new zealand and the us particularly very suspicious of. there's mixed opinions in the u.k. it is mixed opinions and comments are all those don't forget it was coming to originally arrested it's the financial structure of. the british government is under pressure to agree their security services have advised the governments that hallway should be banned from providing some critical infrastructure when five g. arrives in britain on the grounds it could jeopardize data security as we know data is extremely valuable today and is indeed. one of the main profit generating areas for companies like google facebook and apple is how they process the data that they

collect and then secondly of course there's the possibility to intercept communications and perhaps even to blackmail different. governments or organizations in order to exert pressure chloé isn't the only example of the dilemma facing the u.k. over its relationship with china the country has already been given a contract to build. new nuclear power station in the west of england despite concerns it would allow beijing to control parts of the u.k.'s power supply and as with everything here brick sits casts a shadow over all of this parts of the government's very much want to do new trade deals with china in order to replace existing ones with the european union yet the spy agencies are worried about the impact of a chinese takeover of the british economy on security in diplomatic circles one of the main topics of conversation has become just water mess that you case china

they've been allowed to do part but not all of the network and that's actually what's being proposed for five g. so they can do external parts like in tennis and the radio network but not the core networks and what's being proposed is something similar for five g. so it's not an expansion at the same time the u.s. would like to see them banned entirely from doing business in most western countries so it's a bit of a victory for awhile way that they're being allowed in and all. and all again on the prom and the headlines on al-jazeera three members of saddam's ruling military council have off they have as a nation it comes off to wednesday's meeting between the generals and a coalition of protest leaders and political parties the two sides have agreed to form a committee to work out their differences sri lanka's president has asked the defense secretary and the police chief to step down following sunday's attacks my city
